Two of our star alpaca girls are unlikely to catch your attention out in the paddock. But their offspring are truly superb alpacas. Here is what Mike Safely had to say in 2005 after we acquired them from Al Cousill and Jude Andersen:


"MSA Sorpresa, is a stunning white female out of Hemingway and Peruvian Navidad.
Peruvian Navidad is the female equivalent of Hemingway. Every one of her offspring has been a champion. Her daughter, Sorpresa, a foundation female for Morning Sun Alpacas, has produced more show winners than any other dam in their breeding program."



A classic case of looking at the phenotype then taking time to look at parentage and offspring in order to dettermine the true value of the alpaca.
